Sitapur: The flood situation has worsened in Keshav Green City, a residential colony located along the bypass on the outskirts of Sitapur city, as the rising water level of the Sarayan river continues to affect the area. Water has reached nearly 2 to 3 feet on several roads, while dirty river water has also entered a number of houses.
With water surrounding homes and movement becoming increasingly difficult, several families are now looking for safer places to stay. Residents say the situation has created fear in the colony, particularly as the water level continues to rise.
According to local residents, the water level had been fluctuating for some time, but it has started rising rapidly again. The flooding has disrupted routine life, with people struggling to step out of their homes even for essential needs.
Several families have started shifting important belongings to safer locations. Residents are also worried about the possibility of further flooding if the Sarayan river continues to rise.
The seriousness of the situation has prompted the tehsil administration to send a team to the affected colony. Officials are present at the spot and are assessing the situation while efforts are being made to help families move to safer locations.
Residents have appealed to the administration for immediate arrangements for evacuation, relief and safe shelter. With water already entering houses, people say they do not want to wait until the situation becomes more dangerous.
The rising water has also raised concerns over electricity supply in the affected area. Considering the risk posed by waterlogging, preparations are reportedly being made to disconnect the power supply in vulnerable areas to prevent electrical accidents.
The administration team is keeping a watch on the situation and has indicated that assistance will be provided to affected residents. The priority is to ensure that people living in waterlogged houses can move to safer places if required.
Meanwhile, several localities within the Sitapur municipal area are also facing waterlogging following continuous rainfall and increased water levels in rivers. The rise in the Sarayan river has added to the problems being faced by residents in low-lying areas.
For families in Keshav Green City, the immediate concern is the steadily rising water around their homes. If the river level increases further, the administration may have to intensify evacuation and relief measures.
The situation remains under watch, with residents waiting for the water level to recede and for safer conditions to return.
